AN: I didn't want to post this until I was finished my other story but I've already written the next few chapters for "Affairs of the heart" so I figured why not.
This story doesn't take place in Mystic Falls(yet) but The City. The City they live isn't specified but it isn't relevent either.
If you like Jeremy or Elena I wouldn't recommend this story for you because there is a lot of Gilbert bashing.
So without further adieu, I present to you "Secret Affairs."
Married people had sex, married people went on dates, married people argued, married people loved each other and married people had their problems, married people had secrets.
They had their problems and secrets, the main one was they were married, just not to each other. They were married to other people. He was married to her best friend, she was married to her best friend's brother, they were in laws. Their relationship wasn't exactly idea, who were they kidding it wasn't Idea at all but it worked for them, at least for now. She hated this man, or at least she did. She loved being with him when they were together but she hated herself afterwards.
He loved her although she didn't know it. He also loved his wife but somewhere in the years they were married he went from being in love with her to just loving her and it had been that way for the last 3 years of their marriage. The only thing holding him back from calling it quits with his wife was the beautiful woman currently placing her clothes back on as he laid in the hotel room bed watching. He would have called it quits the moment he knew she was who he wanted to be with if she wasn't so afraid to give them a chance.
She and her husband had been having problems when She started cheating on him. She and her husband argued all the time, he often came home late, sometimes drunk or smelling like perfume that wasn't hers, she knew for sure that he was also cheating before she started sneaking around with her brother in law. Of course she felt guilty about cheating because she was married and he was married to one of her best friends.
He had suggested on numerous occasions, usually after sex, that they should run off together and leave "The Gilberts." as he called them, alone to sulk in their misery. She usually laughed about it but no matter how much she would love to run off with him and leave "The Gilberts." she couldn't because she loved those Gilberts, one her best friend who she learned to love as a sister and one her husband who she actually cared for, no matter how much the argued or how bad he made her feel at times, at some point she would've given her life to satisfy him. She had given everything up for that man.
He walked up behind her as she slid her last heel on her right foot in all his naked glory. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. She looked up at their reflection in the mirror and smiled as brought her hand up to the side of his face and gently caressed it.
"I wish you didn't have to go." He whispered in a soft yet sultry voice.
"I know but I have to help Elena set up for your surprise party. I should have been there an hour ago." He let out a long frustrated sigh.
"Let's just ditch the party and find something else to do."
"You know if I could I would, but Elena's been planning this party for months and I promised I would help out."
He stood up straight and started picking up his clothes from off of the floor. "You know you could of said no."
"Then what kind of friend would I be." she reapplied the lip stick that was currently smeared on different parts of his body.
"The kind of friend that sleeps around with her husband." She glared at him.
"You know we could just stop this."
"You couldn't even if you tried." He teased and kissed her neck before heading to the bathroom to shower.
"You couldn't even if you tried." She replayed the words over and over again in her head. She couldn't stop, they couldn't stop. They've tried too on numerous occasions to stop their tumultuous love affair but something kept drawing them back to each other. They would try to stay away from each other, they would go days, sometimes weeks at a time without seeing and each other but it was no use because when they did see each other the passion took over and they would end up having sex, wild, crazy, passionate sex in the most random places, restaurants, bathrooms, cars, alleys, and hotels, but never in their homes. No matter how much they wanted each other at the time, they would never disrespect their respective spouses by having sex in the homes they shared with them.
Like most affairs theirs wasn't planned, it kind of just happened. First it was just sex then it evolved into something more than just sex, these two people loved each other. They traveled out of the city went on dates, talked, and had sex. He looked at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world and she looked at him like he was Jesus Christ himself. Neither one of them was aware of how deep the others affections were but they both knew that it definitely wasn't just sex anymore.
After she finished getting dress, she left without telling him goodbye, why would she, they weren't married.
30 minutes later she arrived at his home, the one he shared with his wife. To help set up the surprise party for the man she had just got done fucking.
"Hey, Bonnie where the hell were you." Her friend Elena ran outside to hug her.
On the outside Elena looked like the perfect wife sweet, innocent, happy homemaker. To anyone on the outside looking in Elena was everything a man would want in a wife, but Bonnie knew better. Everybody had their secrets, Elena had a lot of them and Bonnie just happened to know all of them, some she would take to her grave and some she would gladly share when push came to shove.
Elena Gilbert-Salvatore was no saint, whenever she felt guilty about fucking Elena's husband she would think about some of the most despicable things Elena had done, that her husband hadn't even deserved and stop feeling guilty about it, of course she wanted to tell him about it but she cared to much for him to tell him the shit his wife did behind his back, it would break her heart and it was way worse than what he was doing.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I had to run some...um errands."
"Well I'm glad you're here now."
Elena and Bonnie along with There other friends Caroline,Tyler, Stefan and Bonnie's husband Jeremy helped decorate the home before the guest started showing up.
"Hey where were you earlier." Jeremy asked his wife.
"I had to take care of something." She answered and tried to walk away but he griped her arm tight and slammed her up against the wall. "You're hurting me Jer." He gripped tighter
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"Hey Bonnie. Elena needs your help." Caroline interrupted the couple
"Okay." Jeremy loosen his grip on her arm
"We're not finished talking about this." He whispered. She nodded and walked away to find Elena.
After about an hour Most of the guest had arrived now they were just waiting for Damon. Elena had called Damon and told him that he needed to be home for an Emergency. When he arrived everyone jumped out and yelled surprise and he gave an Oscar worthy performance of being surprised. All of his friends and family were there having fun and dancing even he enjoyed himself.
Around Midnight most of the guess started to clear out. The only people left was Damon, Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie, his brother Stefan and his wife Caroline.
"So Caroline and I have an announcement." Stefan said once it was just the 6.
"What." Elena asked Excited.
"I'm pregnant." She announced. Elena shrieked in excitement
"Congratulations." Damon said.
"Yeah Congrats." Bonnie said sadly.
"I'm sorry Bon." Caroline apologized.
"It's okay care, I'm happy for you." Bonnie and Jeremy had been trying to get pregnant for the past 2 years last year she was pregnant but the baby died.
"I can't wait until Damon and I have a baby." Elena said. Damon choked on the Bourbon he had been drinking.
"I don't think we're ready for kids." Damon stated, although they had been married longer than the other 2 couples combined."
"Well I am." Jeremy said looking pointedly at Bonnie who put her head down.
"If you excused me I'm going outside." Bonnie grabbed her jacket and walked outside.
"What the hell is wrong with you Jer.?" Elena reprimanded her brother.
"What, I want kids."
"You know it's not her fault." Caroline yelled
"Yeah, man that was wrong." Stefan said.
Jeremy didn't respond and just drunk his bourbon.
Damon stood up and followed her outside. Nobody but Caroline and Stefan noticed that he left.
Damon walked outside and saw Bonnie standing on the side of the house crying.
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and held her close.
"You shouldn't do that people might see." she said wipping the tears away.
"I don't care, That Dick hurt your feelings."
"He didn't mean it." She defended him. She always defended him.
What is that?" He saw the purple bruise on her arm. She took her hand and covered it up.
"It's nothing." She lied
"It wasn't there before, believe me I would have noticed." She turned around to face him. He had an angry expression on his face.
"Damon, I'm fine."
"Okay but If I see another bruise on that beautiful little body of yours, I' m kicking baby Gilberts ass."
"Thank you." Damon leaned over and kissed her lip.
"Bonnie." Caroline whispered. Bonnie pushed Damon away and looked at her friend.
"I'm going back inside." Damon left the two friends alone.
"Caroline don't."
"Don't what, say anything about you sneaking around with Elena's husband." Bonnie didn't respond. "How long had it been going on?"
"6 months."
"You've been fucking Damon 6 months."
"Yes." She nodded and started to walk near her car
"Where are you going?" She yelled after her
"Home, I don't need to be here right now" Bonnie got in her car and left a shocked Caroline standing alone in the dark.
Caroline had followed Damon outside to check on Bonnie also. She knew Jeremy was a dick for giving Bonnie a hard time about not having kids. Last year Bonnie was pregnant but lost the baby after she caught Jeremy sleeping with a intern at his job. She never for sure found out what happened to Anna but she had heard Elena mention to Damon that her dad had paid the girl off. Bonnie was devastated, first she found out her husband was sleeping with another woman but the week after she lost her baby, Anna knocked on her door claiming that she was pregnant with Jeremy's baby.
Caroline walked back inside and told her husband Stefan she was ready to go home, there was no way in hell that she could keep something this big to herself. She couldn't tell Elena about it because Damon was her husband and she didn't want or need Elena to tell Jeremy about it because Jeremy was a ruthless asshole, who knew what he would do to Bonnie if he even suspected Bonnie was cheating on him. So that left her with her husband, the only person in the world she could trust with a secret this big.
Caroline and Stefan rode in the quiet car as he drove.
"Jeremy is a dick." Caroline said breaking ther silence.
"Yeah I can't believe he would say something like that to his wife."
"I wanted to go over and punch the shit out of him."
"I got the feeling Damon wanted to break his neck."
"Damon and Bonnie are sleeping together." Caroline closed her eyes and blurted out.
Stefan laughed and Caroline looked at him like he lost his mind.
"I know."
"You know, what do you mean you know."
"I caught them one day."
"What, when, how."
"4 months ago, Do you remember that night we had dinner with Elena, Damon, Jeremy and Bonnie."
"Yes."
"I caught them in the restroom going at it like Jack Rabbits." He explained it like it was no big deal.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"No offense babe, but you can't hold water."
Caroline scoffed and crossed her arms. "I wouldn't have told anybody." she pouted
"As soon as you found out about Bonnie and Damon you blabbed to me."
"That's because you're my husband, I want to share all my secrets with you."
"I know babe." He leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"What did Damon say about it?"
"He said it's was just sex for both of them but now I'm not so sure."
"What do you mean?"
"I think that whatever they have going on has evolved into something more than just sex."
"Bonnie hates Damon."
"Hated, Caroline, I think if she did she wouldn't even let him touch her."
"So you're saying that Bonnie is in love with Damon."
"I'm saying that I know Damon has strong feelings for her. It's a strong possibility that she might have feelings for him too."
"What about Elena and Jeremy."
"Damon loves Elena but even you know what kind of manipulative person Elena could be and Jeremy is a prick, Bonnie must still love him if she's still married to him after all the shit he's pulled." Caroline sighed, she had a pretty good Idea on why Bonnie was still married to Jeremy.
Damon helped Elena clean up after his not-so- surprised party, while his brother in law sat on his couch drinking. He never liked Jeremy, when him and Elena first go married, he saw him as this entitled spoiled little rich Brat, who lived off his parents. Now, he absolutely hated him. Everything about Jeremy Gilbert made him sick, even the way he look made him gag. Damon Salvatore came off as a cold heartless son of a bitch but at least he owned up to it. Jeremy was a cold hearted son of a bitch but pretended to be the charming, upstanding, Citizen. Damon knew better, shit everybody in their circle knew it.
Whenever Jeremy Gilbert wanted something all he had to do was asked his dad and he had it. That's how he became the head of his father's Medical supply company and that's how he got Bonnie, sort of. He knew the story all too well of how Bonnie Bennett, a girl from a small town in Virginia got Involved with the heir to the Gilbert fortune and ended up married to the bastard. He even knew some things she didn't know.
Damon walked up to Elena who was in the Kitchen washing dishes.
"Your brother needs to leave, now. "He told her in a stern but low enough voice so Jeremy couldn't hear them.
"No, Damon he's my brother, I'm not throwing him out on the street like that."
"That's not my problem."
"Come on, Damon." She pleaded. "He's having a hard time."
"A hard time with what, whenever he needs something he just calls your dad."
"He just found out your brother and Caroline are having a baby, that's something he always wanted, he took it so hard when his son died."
"The only reason His son died was because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants."
"Damon that's not fair, he made a mistake and fixed it and I'm not kicking my brother out."
Jeremy Staggered into the kitchen
"Hey guys, do you mind if I crash here tonight, Bonnie took the car and I don't have a ride." he asked.
"No." Damon immediately answered. Elena threw him a threatening look.
"Of course you can stay here sweetie, you can crash in the guest room."
"Thanks." Jeremy stumbled down the hall to the guest room.
"I'm serious Elena I don't want your brother staying here."
"He's staying here and that's the end of it."
"Well if he's staying I'm leaving." Damon threaten
"Fine." she yelled.
He grabbed his leather jacket, phone, and Car keys and left. He drove not knowing where he was going but somehow he ended up in front of her home. He knocked on the door waiting for an answer. Bonnie opened the door expecting to find Jeremy on the other side and thought he had lost his key or something, but found Damon instead. One of the rules of their affair is that he never came to her house unless he was with Elena or Jeremy was home.
"What are you doing here? You can't be here what if Jeremy comes home and sees you here." She panicked
"Relax, I just came to check on you." He moved caressed her face gently with the palm of his hand. She leaned into his touch and exhaled, immediately calming down. His touch always calmed her.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure." He moved his hand to her hair. Gently fingering the curl, he loved playing in her curls. She nodded
"What are you doing here?" She asked again but more calmly than the first time.
"Your husband." He spat. "Is crashing at my home tonight, so I told Elena it was either me or him."
"I thought Caroline told Elena what she saw and kicked you out."
"No, I talked to Stefan. Blondie will keep her mouth shut."
"We have to be careful, Damon. We can't risk being seen together."
"I know." He continued to play with her curl.
"You can't look at me the way you do or touch me while we're around people we know."
"Okay, okay."
She sighed. "Where are you going to sleep tonight?"
"Are you offering?"
"No,I'm just asking."
"I don't know I'll probably crash at Stefan's."
"Okay, goodnight."
"What, no goodnight kiss."
"nope." she giggled
"Goodnight Bon Bon."
"Night Damon."
AN:I hoped you enjoyed it.
"Please Review."
